John Deere 6000 Sprayer

[wbhf3]

I bought a old 6000 sprayer with the rear folding X wing booms and I am wanting to replace them with front folding booms. The 6000 sprayers have one way cylinders and valves and I need two way cylinders and valves for my booms. I replaced the original valve with a two way valve but I can?t get it to lower the cylinders. They raise fine but won?t lower. I know some people have put front fold booms with two way cylinders on these sprayers. Any help would be appreciated.

I have had several 6000 sprayers and they have double acting cylinders.They fold out and retract.I did have one that had a front folding that used existing cylinders.I still have one for pastures fence rows and and ditches.

The cylinders that level the boom are single acting meaning they only have one hose double acting have 2
